You're misunderstanding. I'm not asking you to change the interface. I'm
just asking you to make sure you know which part is firmware interface
and which isn't. Clearly, pointers *cannot* be firmware interface - if
there's something "cookie-like" that you use as pointers you at least
need to make sure you know how long this field is (32 or 64 bits)...

Given your own confusion on what's firmware API and what isn't, I'm not
so sure about that ...
